this version misses the part when he sings: "She said 'Time is irrelevant, it's not linear'/Then she put her tongue in my ear" which is the best one in my opinion.
me imagino que esta es una de las canciones que grabo el pasado productor del no line on the horizon, rubin, y que las regrabaron daniel y brian, y si esta muy fuera del estilo de u2 pero suena bien y muy diferente a u2 me gustan los cambios a eso le falta a u2 arriesgar mas esoero que en este nuevo disco se arriesgen y saquen otro achtung baby.
Esta no es de las sesiones de Rick Rubin, sino de la sesion de Eno y Lanois. De hecho esta version fue grabada despues de la del disco y no esta producida por Eno, sino por los propios U2. Seguramente la dejaron fuera por la similitud que tiene a nivel ritmico con The Fly, Lady with the spinning head y Ultraviolet.... quizas por esas similitudes me gusta mas que la version final :D
This version is way better than the album. Wish they put this version in the album. NLOTH was a little boring for me. This would have given an otherwise banal album a little extra kick. I think the problem with U2 now is their poor songwriting or poor arrangements. No longer are they the great album makers of the late 80s or 90s.
@fishybashi You might notice that this song is actually produced by U2 themselves, the rest was done by Brain Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite.
I got this version when I bought the whole album (which I love) on iTunes, but for some reason, most of the songs got deleted. I was super sad!! Hahaa:p I miss hearing this on my iPod.
Is better than the original versión, without complications, sounds like the old U2, remember me Like a song o Two hearts beat is one......this version is amazing
Okay version. But I prefer the original album release which sounds more heavier harder, raw and overall more polished than this one. The choppy guitar on this one is a pace building effect that can be thrown in somewhere in the original though
This song is written in the viewpoint of the traffic cop, right?
Some lines in this version (not the last part, that actually says it) suggest that this version was in a different viewpoint (perhaps the girlfriend, or when they finally get back together)
(the omission of "time is irrelevant" and the changing of the words "songs in YOUR head" to "songs in MY head"
But this could all be B.S. and he might just be singing on the spot, no lyrics.
then you should totally wait for the new U2 dvd to come out! I think it will be shot in Croke Park, Dublin, of the 360 tour, the new tour is amazing, I saw them live the other day here in holland, definetly check it out when it will be released
its usual for U2 to do a concert video. they did that 3 times with their vertigo tour, from chicago, milan, and honolulu. they did many dvd sets which they never released. very unfortunate because some of them are just amazing. in croke park there was a helicopter circling the area shooting stuff. they did their very best for that gig, plus it was 3 nights in a row at their home town. so I wouldnt be surprised if the dvd pops up real soon!
much much better sound, if U2 comes back like this, it would have been an explosion. now the general opinion is that its a "not bad at all" album. Very very much like achtung baby, more adventurous more pioneering than the original.
I think the album version is far, far away the better version. It's more intense sonically and is stirring and evocative. I like this as well, it would've been pretty good for a single. But it's kinda disposable in comparison. I'm glad they stuck with the original, this is like a lite version for me.
To each their own but I disagree. In my opinion this version is ten times better. Would've made for a much better opener on the album. Replace the original with this and then replace Unknown Caller with Mercy and you've go the best U2 album ever.
i tootally agree. there is something manic about it that reminds me of achtung baby. that beginning livened me up to the entire album. this really is lter
this song is freaking funky, much more rock than in the original!! thanks for posting it, otherwise we had had to buy the entire album on iTunes again!
The original one is better I'd say, it's so epic. But I also like this in a different way. Would've been quite cool if they ended the album with this imo, as a bonus track perhaps.
Wow great!!!! I don't know which version is better, but I know that BONO&U2 ROCKS!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS, YOU'RE THE BEST BAND ON THE PLANET AN SPACE!!!!!!!!!
It's a cool version, I prefer the album version as it builds. The guitar at the start sounds dangerously like you could sing the macarena over the top though lol. but as ever U2 prove they are the best.
@dugfly I know to be be responding to an old comment, but the first time I heard the guitar riff on this, my first thoughts were about "Hearth of Glass" from Blondie. Like them both anyway.
